    What a gay useless noncontent thread this became

    Well not entirely. I've been exposed, again, for a political hack who's not as smart as he thinks he is. I need to better stock my Romney Good Facts Book before jumping into one of these threads again. My daughter's virtue is apparently on the line.

    I still like Romney. He may not appeal to today's conservative, but he's exactly my kind of politician. Sure, his time in Mass. has probably liberal'd him up a bit, but he's no liberal. Bongingo is overreacting IMO.
    Romney is whatever Romney needs to be in order to help Romney. There's no core or convictions with him other than what helps Mitt.
    What's Mitt's play here then? The majority of Utahns don't support impeachment, so what's the rub?
    Don't ever underestimate the self delusion of politicians. Every 4 years a bunch of them think they can be president even though no one else does

    Mitt is counting on a Trump loss this year or a big backlash after 4 more years to propel him to front runner status for 2024

    He has the name recognition which worked great for Jeb and Biden. Or not

    I think that is the play though
    Let's keep in hunret about what a Mitt Presidency in 2016 would have looked like...

    1) Cutting taxes and regs? Check
    2) Getting tough on China? Check
    3) No more neocon nation building? Check
    4? Conservative Judges? Check


    The reason you guys love Trump and hate Mitt is because winners win and loser lose. And because Trump trolls libs like a boss and Mitt tries to be classy. That's it. It has nothing to do the laws Mitt would have signed or exec orders.
    Right on 1 & 4. Dead wrong on 2 & 3.

    I walked back and forth on Yella's list, even as a fellow Romney groupie. I thought yeah on judges, but now I think he'd probably appoint a Roberts-type. I think the one I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have accomplished is #2. I can't see Mitt really going after China and not knowing whether or not it would tube the economy. It's a battle you get into for the long haul, knowing it might get messy along the way. He's too steeped in the business world to say, "Ah fuck it. We have to start sometime. It's going to suck but it's the best thing for the long run."

    I bet he wouldn't say it to his FACE!!!!!!!

    Don Jr. and his brother are walking and breathing reminders that genes are often not distributed fairly among siblings. Ivanka and the Maples sister got the good stuff - looks and smarts. His boys are fucking goofs, and Jr. now relishes the role of muscle for Pappa because (1) it's all he really has to give and (2) he wants Pappa to love him when this is all over. There is a treasure trove of stories that suggest Don Sr. hasn't always been a big fan of Jr., including the infamous slapping incident at Penn.

    IRDGAF, so whatever, but Mitt Romney takes shits that are more accomplished than the Trump prodigal son.

    And I'm betting Mitt would kick his ass in a street fight.
    I'll take Trump and give you the points

    Candy Crowley kicked his ass
    Senior would be a good fight. Jr. is soft af. You can see it.

    Word on the street is that his ex left him because she wanted it in the ass and he said, "Eww. I don't do that."

    FTG
    Something tells me that's still on the menu, so I'm throwing the bullshit flag on that one.
